This is Pentagram.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

They are one of the best, most obscure, heavy metal doom rock bands ever formed and are as unheard of as they are awesome.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A lot of that has to do with destructive front-man Bobby Liebling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Between the drugs and general maniacal behavior, Pentagram seemed to blow every break they were given to ‘make it big’… and they had a few. (Including a less than stellar\u00a0private showing in their basement for members of Kiss, and more recently, having Phil Anselmo (Pantera, Down, owner of Housecore Records<\/a>) take an interest in the band, only to back away because of Liebling’s legal troubles and persistent drug issues).<\/p>\n

The beautiful tragedy of a truly tortured soul suffering for his art, suffering for his life, is expertly captured and told in the documentary, “Last Days Here<\/em>“. (watch the full length doc below).<\/p>\n

It’s a crazy ride of a documentary, that follows not only the troubled musician, but those around him that love this man and his art, constantly doing whatever they can to keep him alive, clean, and focused on his career.<\/p>\n

Imagine trying to keep this in line…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But aside from the human Russian Roulette that is the daily life of Bobby Liebling, the underscoring point is the music that comes out of this man’s vision for Pentagram.<\/p>\n

Black Sabbath wears the deserved crown of birthing all things metal.<\/strong> But when one views Pentagram<\/strong> through the perspective of time, this band started in 1971<\/strong> and came before most every band that would carry the torch of metal. And while they couldn’t get their career to catch, they continued to write and create some of the purest, heaviest, darkest heavy metal stoner doom rock to have ever been unleashed upon this world.<\/p>\n

Seriously, watch the documentary.<\/p>\n

And then realize… this guy is STILL alive!<\/p>\n

And they have a new album coming out.<\/p>\n

AND… the single is tight.<\/p>\n

Fuzzed out stoner desert punk rock vibe.<\/p>\n

Listen to the aptly titled, “Misunderstood”…<\/strong><\/p>\n
